Hey fellow Army Reserve Chaplain Candidates, check your AKO email. You’re not IRR anymore…
Civilian translation:
Previously, Army Reserve Chaplain Candidates did not get to drill one weekend a month or do two weeks of annual training. They were in the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). We’re being transfered to the Select Reserve. Which means we’re going to be active members of the Army Reserve… we get to drill and we get paid for it.
Don’t worry, Mom. We’re still not deployable.
Amy, you are the first I have found to put this on the web. Did you receive a call from the CC manager’s office? I am anxiously awaiting the call. This is a great move for me and my family. This gives us hands on experience, a little pay and makes us eligible for Tricare Reserve Select (Cheap, Quality Healthcare). Just wish they would have done this sooner.
Blessings
CC James Prendergast

I am currently very close to becoming a res. chaplain candidate and this is good news. Is there an official info page associated with this? Thanks

This is the first time in a while that I clicked off my reader and came over here. When did you change the design?
